Murrelektronik Passive Distribution Systems & General Connectivity Quiz

As Aaron Henry stated during our recent training session: "Murr's growth is in PASSIVE Technology!"

Make certain that you are engaging the right individuals at your Murr Passive target accounts. The guy you're talking to on the shop floor probably likes the "job security" of conventional (i.e. DISCRETE) wiring methods.

The only real downside may be the initial component cost, but not always depending upon the application. But this is significantly offset by the reduction in man hours to install, maintain and troubleshoot.

Remember: people don't know what they want until you show it to them. Many are still unfamiliar with Technology such as Murr's Passive Distributors because they have never seen anything quite like it.

In addition to pre-wired and pluggable connector cables, Murr also offers wide variety of MVP12 devices with rear, or bottom-side terminal connections for mounting on the outside of an enclosure and terminating connections through a knockout in the enclosure panel.

In a passive wiring scheme the main focus is on creating connections using pre-terminated cables and devices that can receive/transfer signals. Wiring in your main control cabinet will likely remain exactly the same with the improvements being made to the machine mount devices. Main control cabinet wiring in this method is usually unchanged. Discreet wiring is often employed for final wire termination to the relays or I/O cards.

Murr's IDC technology is comprised of four components: strain relief, connector termination, sealing nut, and contact carrier. These components work together to ensure a secure and reliable connection in the IDC technology. The strain relief helps to protect the connection from excessive stress or strain. The connector termination is responsible for connecting the wires to the IDC technology. The sealing nut provides a tight seal to prevent any moisture or dirt from entering the connection. Lastly, the contact carrier holds the contacts in place, ensuring proper contact between the wires and the IDC technology.

The MVP12-M series of extremely robust distributors are made of totally encapsulated Metal construction for particularly tough environments.

The universal Power Law Formula allows us to always divide the Wattage of a device by its operating voltage to determine its current consumption, when energized. So 2.4 Watts divided by 24VDC equals 0.1 Amps.

An insulation displacement connector (IDC) is an electrical connector designed to be connected to the conductor(s) of an insulated wire or cable by a connection process which forces a selectively sharpened blades through the insulation, bypassing the need to strip the wire of insulation before connecting. IDC connectors achieve IP67 when properly installed.

True. In addition to Murr’s M8 & M12 Passive Distributors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, and even diodes are all considered passive devices.

A DC battery is analogous to a pump in a water circuit. A pump takes in water at low pressure and does work on it, ejecting it at high pressure. A battery takes in charge at low voltage, does work on it and ejects it at high voltage. And the Flow in a water circuit becomes similar the the Current in a DC circuit, moving from the high side back around to the low side where it repeats as long as the circuit is operable.

While Murr’s M12 distribution systems are available up to 8-way, the Exact8 (M8) distribution systems are available up to 10-way.
